1. Audience profile/ questionnaire
results.

2. Are you male or female?
Even though this will not make a lot of difference to the final result of the magazine
due to the fact that most music magazines that I have looked at are designed to
appeal to both men and women. Having said this I felt like it was important to ask this
question because I helped me get a better understanding of the people that took part
in my questionnaire.
Gender
Male
Female

3. What music genre would you typically
listen to?
This was extremely important in the designing of the magazine due to the fact that the
magazine had to correspond with the results of the questionnaire because if they
didn’t they would have been no point doing a questionnaire. From the results of the
questionnaire the music that was most popular was both pop and RnB because of this
I have decided to produce a magazine that would appeal to both of these music genre
so I am producing an RnB flavoured pop magazine.

4. How old are you?
From the results of the questionnaire I have found out that the people that are most
likely to read music magazine are 11-16 year olds this would be a good target
audience due to the fact that I am in this age range meaning that I have a better
understanding of what this group of people would look for in a music magazine than
someone that is older.

8. What do you think an appropriate
masthead for a pop/RnB magazine
would be?
Earlier on in the questionnaire the results of the genre of music that I should make a
magazine was pop/RnB because of this I have come up with a few names that I feel
would all be appropriate for the magazine. Due to the fact that ‘Blues’ and ‘Flava’ got
the same amounts of votes have persuaded me to use both of these names and call it
‘Blues flava’.
